The city so we did not know. One thing we do now is counted everything. In the mirrorook at yourself. You may not mind but i mind. You look at yourself and analyze yourself and make a forensic study. Stripped down and done that and there are some things we so we did not like. Allisons team put the numbers together. 52 anybody know how much is . 38,600 people who are not working. Is thing we are doing something called a pathway to prosperity. We are trying to find the individuals, the man. They are not all the same individuals. They are different ages and it and live in different neighborhoods and their are different parts of their life and some of them did not get through high school domicile them some of them graduated. We are terrible about this and america all over the country. We need workforce to relevant and training. In schools we say everyone should go to college. Not everyone is going but its a great aspiration. Some of our kids went and got 75 million scholarships. Thats great but a lot of our young men will not get there. This is what we have in louisiana which is a great opportunity. We got the two medical centers coming out of the ground and rebuilding the sewage and water system and i think lake charles is building 60 billion worth of lng plans. We dont have transportation to and from because folks did not want people moving in and out of their neighborhoods. Race, that isf changing dramatically because there is a huge need to have folks working for them. What we are trying to do is connect these young men with the jobs that exist and then create the pathway to them. The first important the first and most important pathways not the bus. Its the training for the specific jobs. Anchortalking to the institutions, the universities, the medical centers and saying you have People Living in your shadow that should be working and that building. There is no better example of this on the University Medical center. Down orleans avenue, you will see a new housing development. Individuals growing up in that new housing which is better than it was before should be able to walk down the street three blocks and walk into that a bunch ofter and do jobs depending on what their skill set is. Is simple as being a phlebotomist or a med tech or doing diagnostics are being a doctor or the person who runs the place. My vision and my hope and my train was that in a couple of years, that pathway will be easy and seamless and the people who live in the neighborhood will be running those major institutions.
